This past Sunday, Craig and I took some time to walk around our new neighborhood. We located the essentials — grocery store, convenience store, closest train station, etc. — and enjoyed a tasty lunch. We sat at our table at Weekend Garage Tokyo, whose delicious burger is shown above, let out a sigh of relief and just allowed ourselves to relax. This new neighborhood already feels like home.

The rest of my sights for the week include more recent explorations, a couple of good luck charms I’ve spotted around and a very special birthday boy.

Our new neighborhood has no shortage of hills.

Some very pretty — and delicious — hummus.

The first signs of spring are starting to appear. I’m taking this to be a good sign.

Spotted in the lobby of our current building.

And last, but certainly not least, we’re wishing a very happy third birthday to our sweet nephew, Nolan!
